Empowering Studio-Centric AI Solutions: RivetAI's Secure Evolution

In the complex world of Hollywood production, where creative vision intersects with operational precision and valuable intellectual property, studios require AI tools that prioritize sovereignty, adaptability, and integration. As artificial intelligence transforms pre-production workflows, RivetAI is focused on delivering studio-centric solutions that address real industry requirements.

Through extensive dialogue with studio executives, production teams, and legal counsel, one consistent message has emerged: AI offers significant promise but must conform to stringent security requirements and operational norms. In response, RivetAI now supports full on-premise deployment, placing the RivetAI platform directly within a studio’s infrastructure to ensure complete data control. This evolution reflects not only a technical upgrade but also a strategic commitment to enabling studios to engage with AI technologies on their own terms.

Studios adopting RivetAI’s on-prem film production and budgeting suite can leverage their extensive proprietary data (such as screenplays, shooting schedules, and budget breakdowns) to fine-tune AI models entirely within their own secure infrastructure. This ensures that sensitive creative and financial information remains fully protected, never leaving the studio’s environment, while empowering teams to customize AI tools for their unique workflows and projects.

Core Features: Purpose-Built for Studio Operations

RivetAI is engineered to integrate deeply into entertainment production pipelines. The on-premise configuration addresses core concerns related to security, control, and scalability:

• Secure Asset Management: All production artifacts, including scripts, Day-Out-of-Days (DOODs), schedules, and budgets, remain within the studio environment, with no external transmission required.
• Granular Access Controls: Customizable permission layers allow administrators to tightly manage visibility and editability across departments and collaborators.
• Version Integrity and Auditability: Internal versioning tools track every change, supporting compliance and reducing the risk of data drift or unauthorized edits.
• Enterprise-Ready Intelligence: Advanced features, such as budget modeling, resource allocation, and scenario simulations, scale with studio demands while operating entirely within a closed environment.

The RivetAI platform is designed to work alongside existing tools including Movie Magic, Final Draft, and Excel, while supporting dynamic requirements such as tax incentive calculations, actor scheduling, and production reshoots.

Product Evolution: Informed by Real-World Production Feedback

RivetAI’s development roadmap has been shaped by direct engagement with users across the production spectrum. Early releases were intentionally broad, allowing insight into workflows from independent projects to large-scale studio productions. Our journey revealed critical distinctions where AI could accelerate tasks like script breakdowns and schedule adjustments, and where it became clear that context and consistency mattered more than speed alone.

These findings have driven the development of features like permission-based collaboration, modular data exports, and the current on-premise capability. As a result, RivetAI now meets the operational and legal standards required for IP-intensive, compliance-driven environments.

Scalable Innovation for All Tiers of Production

The platform’s architecture supports both high-budget global productions and smaller teams working with limited resources. By standardizing best practices across deployments, RivetAI offers consistent performance and compliance regardless of scale.

This approach enables forward-looking studios to incorporate AI into their existing infrastructure. RivetAI functions as a secure, intelligent layer within production ecosystems enhancing efficiency, insight, and agility while maintaining the highest standards of data governance.

For studios seeking AI tools aligned with their operational and security standards, RivetAI offers a path forward that combines innovation with institutional trust.
